In the middle of a contract dispute, Haason Reddick has yet to play a single snap for the New York Jets. Reddick is so adamant about getting his well-earned money that he didn’t even participate in any of the Jets’ offseason activities.
This fact is not lost on Aaron Rodgers, who, after finally playing like a star in the Jets’ latest win last Thursday night, simply couldn’t help himself during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday.
When asked about how the Jets’ culture currently compares to what The Athletic’s Ben Standig reported was in “disarray” in late August, Rodgers said he didn’t read the piece. However, based purely on the headline, he did jokingly suggest that Reddick’s agent must have written it, given the pass-rusher’s ongoing dispute with the Jets organization.

Uh, yeah, I don’t think Reddick will be playing for the Jets any time soon if he sees his quarterback slash supposed “leader” taking jabs like this in the media. This is a bit of a low blow. At the very least, it seems Rodgers doesn’t really respect Reddick’s financial battle much, and that’s not a great look, either.
